It is easy to be cynical over the value of summits such as the G8 meeting recently concluded in Northern Ireland. After all, this year's meeting was preceded by the erection of fake shop fronts in Northern Ireland to disguise empty businesses, and when Birmingham played host in 1998 the city council sprayed the grass verges green.Tue, 25 Jun 2013 16:54:00 GMThttp://www.birmingham.ac.uk/research/impact/thebirminghambrief/items/2013/06/g8-summit-2013.aspxBirmingham Brief.

Having transparent mechanisms for distribution of global aid is hugely important. It allows scrutiny to ensure money is used effectively. The global aid landscape has changed drastically with the rise of southern donors like India and China. This makes it even more important that transparency for public flows of development aid should be non-negotiable, irrespective of whether or not they are official development assistance.Thu, 03 Nov 2011 00:00:00 GMThttp://www.birmingham.ac.uk/research/impact/thebirminghambrief/items/2011/11/building-a-transparent-system-of-global-aid.aspxbirmingham briefPranay SinhaMichael Hubbard
